[Movie Script]Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

              FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS



by
Terry Gilliam & Toy Grisoni




BLACK SCREEN



A desert wind moans sadly.  From somewhere within the wind

comes the tinkly, syrupy-sweet sounds of the Lennon Sisters

singing "My Favorite Things." A series of sepia images of

anti-war protests from the mid-sixties appear one after

another on the screen.
In the violently scrawled style of Ralph Steadman, the title

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS splashes onto the screen.  A

beat, and then it runs down and off revealing:
TITLE: "He who makes a beast of himself

Gets rid of the pain

Of being a man."

Dr. Johnson
The VOICE OF HUNTER S. THOMPSON -- a.k.a. RAOUL DUKE:
                         DUKE (V/O)

            We were somewhere around Barstow on

the edge of the desert when the

drugs began to take hold.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
